Dear uterus and the massive fibroid you have decided to spawn.

STOP IT. JUST FUCKING STOP IT, ALREADY.

No love,

Aw, hell. Albert will send Cat Thoughts of Doom to the bratfactory. Any word from the doc? How did that go?

I'm at home with GI Distress, Day 2. Albert is doing great; he's the only one in this house that feels somewhat decent.

Well, the doc was very good about presenting options. Most of 'em were just holding things off until menopause, and that's still a decade or better off. Plus, this goddamned thing is too damn large to work with comfortably as is. Yanno I thought the damn fibroid was grapefruit-sized? Canteloupe. With a navel-orange sized cyst next to my right ovary. MY INNARDS ARE A GODDAMED FRUIT BOWL. ...and here I thought it was gaining weight that was making it difficult for me to move around and bend over. I was. Just not... in fat. :P Also it's squashing other bits, and oh, *that* would explain why I have to pee so often, wouldn't it

Your doc sounds really cool, and if other friends' hysterectomy experiences have any bearing, you will wake up feeling better. You will get your life back

Yeah, he's an older guy, but he didn't say word one about my fertility, instead of what treatment options would be best for me. Closest he even came to it was when I said if I'd wanted kids I'd have had them long ago was when he replied "I've got a patient in her early forties, and she's pregnant and happy about it. But you're entitled to do what works for *you*." So that was cool. Nice to have a gyn who worries more about the welfare of the patient rather than of her botchy uterus
